Integration of a Security Product in Service-Oriented Architecture

The future of enterprise software development lies in the use of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to support business concerns. Business services are using security services offered by service-oriented security architectures for security support. The question remains how to implement the security services using traditional security products and how to map security policies defined at service level to product-specific policies. In this paper we present an approach for integrating existing security products into service-oriented security architectures. We show how traditional security products can be adapted to fit into the overall service-oriented paradigm. We present a case study that applies our approach.
